Document Summary
It is important for both animals and plants. Phosphorus can be found in the rock and sediment on the ocean floor. It means rocks near the surface of the earth are disintegrated. Animals- get the phosphorus by eating the plant. Phosphate >> water (erosion, leaching and run off) The phosphate at the bottom becomes the sediment. And then the aquatic plants acquire the phosphate over the sea. However, phosphate is only available after the geological uplift. The mixture of rocks (rocks, organisms and soils) Animals can return phosphorus into the environment. Phosphorus come into the aquatic because water can dissolve it. Phosphorus plays an important role between animals and plants. Water system are broken by the phosphorus. Carbon cycle changes can trigger climate change and global warming. Helpful to the species" growth, but the amount of preys will be reduced. In conclusion, matter cycle is essential to the ecosystem, without the matter cycle there will no lives.
